Ask me direct for copies of a legal annotation from 1937 and its 1939 supplement of court cases regarding proportional representation and rank voting (1, 2, 3, etc.). The Anno is in 2 parts (45K total). The Anno is of vital importance because it shows how very similar language in different state constitutions produces directly opposite results in different courts. The general result is that any election reform language must be rather simple-- otherwise the courts will mangle the language and create all sorts of statutory loopholes for manipulation by state legislatures.
